Sideways Dictionary — it’s like a dictionary, but using analogies instead of definitions. Use it as a tool for finding and sharing helpful analogies to explain technological ideas. Because if everyone understands technology better, we can make technology work better for everyone.
Features:
• Visual cues will indicate when a technology term existing in the Sideways Dictionary has been detected within the text on a web page.
• Click the extension icon to see an expanded sidebar list of all tech terms detected on the page and their top analogies.
• Hover a highlighted tech term within the page’s text to see an analogous definition in a small overlay.
• Set it to highlight all instances of a found word, or only its first occurrence.
• Set it to automatically run on every page, or on click of the extension icon in the browser bar.
• Replace Chrome’s default new tab page with a random Sideways analogy.

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
